点评:Turoa has the potential to be something amazing but just isn't there yet.
If your a beginner boarder, I would 100% stick to Whakapapa as the beginner area at Turoa is tiny and the beginner intermediate slopes are not appropriate and are more advanced intermediate than actual beginner. So if you can't stop or turn this isn't the field for you.
The tracks are icy and although the terrain is beautiful its also incredibly dangerous if done wrong. There is only one entry and exit into the tracks however you need to be aware because the main walking entry into the beginner area is also the stop point for people dropping down off the more advanced tracks to get to the chair lifts, be warned people come off those tracks at pace and i personally watched people get bowled over. Because there are so many people walking across the fields it causes divots in the snow affecting a smooth riding experience The staff are super hit and miss. Some are absolutely lovely and others act like you shouldn't be there which really brings the vibe down especially with the cost of everything.
Mid week day passes are about 80 dollars but there are lots of very expensive added costs. It was 30 dollars to hire a locker, the food is insanely expensive and there are no rubbish bins around the area so people end up leaving their rubbish on the slopes, once again lowering the vibe. The amenities were always a mess and smelt bad when i walked in and I got there just as the fields opened.
Bonus there's a bar in the lower cafe.
Unless you are a confident rider and comfortable with sharp turns and oodles of people everywhere i would not recommend Turoa for you.
翻译:图罗阿有潜力成为一个很棒的滑雪场,但目前还未能完全做到。
如果你是滑雪初学者,我绝对建议你选择瓦卡帕帕——因为图罗阿的初学者雪道非常有限,而那些标为“初级至中级”的雪道其实难度更高,更适合中级滑雪者。所以,如果你还无法停下来或转弯的话,这里并不适合你。
这里的雪道多结冰,虽然地形十分优美,但如果技术不达标,危险性也会极高。进入滑雪区的入口和出口只有一个,不过大家需要留意:通往初学者区域的主要步行通道同时也是从高级道下来、准备乘坐缆车的人们的停留点。请注意,这些人下得来时速度很快,我亲眼见过有人因此被撞倒。由于有大量人群在雪地上行走,导致雪面出现许多凹坑,影响了滑雪体验。至于工作人员,服务质量则参差不齐。有些人真的非常友善,而另一些人则表现得好像你不该出现在那里似的,这真的破坏了整体氛围,尤其是在各项费用都如此高昂的情况下。
工作日的入场券大约80美元,但还有许多极其昂贵的附加费用。租用一个储物柜就要30美元,食物的价格也贵得离谱。而且周围根本没有垃圾箱,于是人们只好把垃圾留在滑雪坡上,这再次拉低了整个环境的氛围。每次我走进去时,那里的设施都乱七八糟且散发着难闻的气味。我到达时正好是滑雪场开放的时间。
值得一提的是,下方的咖啡馆里还有一家酒吧。
除非你骑行技术娴熟,能从容应对急转弯以及拥挤的人群,否则我不推荐你去图罗阿滑雪场。
